Selamolela joins BCG from Vodacom Group, where she managed the Group’s strategy and innovation in Africa and led several large-scale transformation initiatives across the continent.

“This role provides me with the ability to combine my practical understanding of the industry, and the unique challenges faced on the continent, with my management consulting background when engaging with our clients. With my experience in different roles within the telco industry, I have full appreciation and empathy for our clients, the challenges they face and the new opportunities they are looking to seize,” said Selamolela. “I’m excited about helping to address challenges that don’t have easy answers and that when solved, will have a considerable impact on the growth of TMT players, the acceleration of digital infrastructure across the continent and the advancement of societies and economies.”
